IMPROVEMENT IN SCRUBBlNG-STGOLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,789, dated Hay 14,187.2.

To all whom it may concern:y

Be it known that we, FREDERICK DEIKE and MARTIN HELMSTADT, both of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a neviT and lmproved Scrubbing-Stool, and we do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this speciiication, in which drawing- V Figure 1 represents a plan or top view of our invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the same in the plane :c Fig. l.

I place to place as the operation of scrubbing progresses.

In the drawing, the letter A designates a board or platform of any suitable material, which is strengthened by a strip, a, of wood or other suitable material, fastened to its under surface. -This platform is provided with y caster-rollers b, of any desired construction,

so that the same can be conveniently moved Upon the platform A is secured a cushion, B, which forms a convenient supportfor the knees of a person engaged in scrubbing a floor, and on each side of this vided into three (more or less) compartments to Y receive soap, soda, and sand, or other articles used in scrubbing, While the other receptacle is intended to receive the scrubbing-brushes. These receptacles are, by preference, provided with lids, which can be fastened by hooks or other means, so as to preserve the articles contained in said receptacles from dust while the scrubbing-stool is not in use. During the operation of scrubbing the lids are kept open so as to have convenient access to thecontents of the receptacles.

By placing the knees on the cushion of the platform A the person engaged in scrubbing has a convenient support, and at the same time all danger of becoming Wet is avoided. As the operation of scrubbing progresses, thc platform A, being supported by caster-wheels, can be conveniently pushed from place to place wit-hout raising the knees from the cushion B.

The convenienceof our scrubbing-stool for every household will be readily conceded, and requires no further explanation.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ise The cushion B, arranged upon the platform A, which is mounted upon caster-wheels b, and provided with one or more receptacles, C C', all combined substantially as described, whereby is produced an improved scrubbingstool.
